Christmas!!! 
Sarah and I tried out packrafts last summer in Seattle since they are more of a thing out west than around here. And clearly we liked them: pretty nice paddle feel, known to do pretty well in whitewater and the real selling point: crazy light. (Perhaps at the expense of more needed maintenance and less long a working lifespan). But I felt better about longevity after talking with the guy in Seattle we rented from. He’s been happy with the boats he has; they get a fair amount of use and he’s comfortable renting them out. So we ordered a couple for Christmas presents. They were due at the end of January. But then the snow hit… …For the last two weeks, UPS has been saying they are loaded on truck every morning, out for delivery and then delayed by weather. Alexandria’s streets have been pretty fine for at least the last week so we’re not sure what the hold up was. But now, they are here. And we just need to patient for some nicer boating weather so we can get them out of the living room :) | ||
